Question 1

can i customize it? i wanna wrap HHD to SAMSUNG 840 500G SSD.. win7 ...that's it

Accepted Answer

i added a samsung 830 ssd 256 gb drive, and it works fine. it is more a pain in the butt, then some machines, like dell, latidude, with a slip in drive, you have to remove a plastic bottom plate. i am  having some kind of memory error, but i don't think that has anything to do with the drive...all in all it is a good machine, if not a bit heavy to lug around. good desktop replacmemt

Question 2

How fast is the HDD?

Accepted Answer

If you could get it with a SSD it would be better. I did not puchase mine with a SSD, so the boot up takes a few min until windows 8 (which I personally belive is a steaming pile of manure) boots up. Wiping the OS and installing windows 7, aparently creates a ton of problems with drivers and BSOD, so it apears you are stuck with this OS.

Overall I am please with the laptop's performance, especially with the graphics performance. I use this as a mobile gaming platform, and it is every bit as powerful as my I7 tower with amd 7850 3 gig card.

Question 3

Can you change out the DVD drive with a Blu-Ray drive?

Accepted Answer

I have not done it myself but I am pretty sure you can. The one that comes stock is just connected with a ribbon. ** check for compatibility and size before you purchase!*** (you can also find nice external ones these days.)

Question 4

I'm looking for a laptop to run AutoCAD and keep seeing this laptop mentioned in articles.  Would this version run AutoCAD 13?  Or would I need one of the more expensive versions?  I'm not well versed in specs so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

I use it for AutoCad 2014 and for structural analysis programs, and it runs pretty good. Although, i have the model with 12Gb
